After listening to his sons, the old master pondered for a moment before he said, "How about this? I'll go and look for those old friends of mine. Let's see if they can help us. "
The brothers' eyes lit up when they heard the old master's words. "We can give it a try."
"That's right, Dad. We can really give it a try. Apart from the Si family, the other families have always been on good terms with us and are even related by marriage. Perhaps they can help us. "
"Alright, I'll call them now." The old master nodded and moved to the phone to call his old friends.
He called the Ning family's elder first. As soon as the call went through, the old master recalled that the Ning family had acknowledged Sheng Fenghua as their granddaughter.
In that case, Si Zhanbei was the Ning family's grandson-in-law. Would the Ning family still agree to his request with this relationship?
At that thought, the old man quickly hung up the phone.
On the other side of the Ning family, the old master was about to pick up the call when the call was suddenly hung up. He was puzzled and could not help but mutter, "Who was that?"
Then, he did not think too much about it and went to do what he had to do.
"Dad, what's wrong?" the brothers asked the old master. They did not understand why he hung up the phone without saying a word.
"Nothing. I just called the Ning family."
"Is there something wrong with the Ning family?" The brothers were puzzled and did not recall the relationship between Sheng Fenghua and the Ning family.
"Sheng Fenghua is the Ning family's adopted granddaughter," the old master explained. "I didn't think about it before. Now, it seems like the Ning family is involved too. "
"What? The Ning family is involved too? "
"Yes!"
"No wonder our family fell so quickly. The Ning family is involved too."
"It seems like that's the case. I can't believe I didn't think about it before. "The old master was a little annoyed, but it was too late.
"Dad, since the family is on the Si family's side, it's useless for us to beg them. Let's forget about it."
"I'll ask the others again." The old man picked up the phone again after he finished speaking.
The call was quickly connected, and Old Master Xu's voice was heard.
"Old Xu, it's me!" The old master immediately introduced himself when he heard Old Xu's voice.
Old Master Xu recognized the old master's voice. However, when he thought about what his family did and how Jia Ning almost killed Si Zhanbei, he pretended not to recognize him and asked, "You are?"
The old master was slightly taken aback when he heard Old Master Xu's question. "I'm Old!"
"Old? Why are you calling me now?"
"Old Xu, it's like this. My family has encountered some difficulties recently, and I would like to ask for your help. I wonder …"
However, before Old Master Xu could finish his sentence, Old Master Xu interrupted him. "Old Master, it's not that I don't want to help you, but there's nothing I can do. So, old man, I'm sorry, you should find someone else. "
After saying that, Old Master Xu hung up the phone without waiting for Old Master Xu's reply.
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, the old man's expression was a little ugly. Sure enough, human nature was fickle. Those who used to call him brother in the past actually pushed him away when he needed help.

Their hearts sank, and they did not look too good.
